|
The female Osprey is making it harder to view the inner workings of the nest by building the walls up higher. |
| She surveys her work. | |
|
The male arrives with a fish; he dries his feathers while standing upon his latest catch. |
| He is impatient to get to his meal and starts picking at the fish before his feathers are dry. | |
|
The usual bloody mess ensues. |
| Calls from the female has him take wing. | |
|
He lands in the nest with the fish. |
| The female feeds herself and the nestlings. | |
|
While his family eats, the male lands upon a perch near the nest where he ponders the moment. |
| Eventually hunger or boredom grips him and before long he is off to soon return with another freshly caught fish. | |

The elusive Indigo Bunting appears in full view leaving me so surprised I bungled with the camera allowing for only one haphazard picture before the bird disappeared. |
